Replacement & Retrofit

Plumbing and HVAC Replacements and Retrofits in Sacramento, CA and Beyond

Replacing a rooftop unit

Is Your Facility in Need of a Professional Intervention?

Building owners, property managers, and facility managers usually find out that the mechanical systems of their buildings are running inefficiently when the utility bills go up, sometimes to the extent that the utility company imposes a surcharge.

They hear tenant complaints of “too hot or too cold” more often, and service calls quickly pile up- signaling the units themselves have approached the end of their useful lives. It’s an expensive proposition to replace them, especially when tenants are terminating their leases, but it needs to be done.

 

Tenant Retention Solutions

For most, the benefits of an equipment replacement for their building outweigh the long-term costs of vacancy due to an uncomfortable indoor environment and inefficient mechanical system.

 

Some of the positive changes you could experience with your system upgrade or replacement include:

  • Improved energy efficiency by cutting utility costs
  • Improved occupant satisfaction, and productivity, leading to tenant retention
  • Reduce emergency repairs and the chance of unforeseen equipment breakdowns
  • Utilization of modern technology such as building automation systems or remote monitoring capabilities for tighter control of the systems
  • Building code compliance

 

Special Project Experts, Serving Northern CaliforniaMan on roof signaling crane

Special projects, a term often used in conjunction with a replacement, retrofit, or tenant improvement, are just as they sound - a specialty project. These projects, often overlapping in both service and construction work, typically take place in occupied buildings, run on a tight schedule, and require creative problem-solving to avoid disrupting tenants. They can range in nature from equipment replacements/retrofits to control upgrades to small tenant improvements or building upgrades.

Special Projects often have unique criteria and require ingenuity and construction excellence for which Cooper Oates is particularly suited for. We pride ourselves on being proactive and agile while delivering strategic value-driven solutions.

We work with businesses throughout the greater Sacramento region, as far north as Chico, CA, east to Napa, west to Placerville, south to Turlock and in between including: Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Elk Grove, Roseville, Woodland, Stockton, Davis, Yuba City, Auburn, Sutter Creek and Lincoln.

 

Plumbing & HVAC Equipment Change Out & Retrofit Solutions

Our Special Projects Team focuses on equipment replacements and retrofits with minimal disruption in occupied buildings. They work from the engineering design of HVAC projects such as tenant improvements, simple equipment change-outs, duct modifications, extensions, retro-commissioning, digital and pneumatic control replacements to the larger retrofit projects that require building modifications.

We take pride in being extremely knowledgeable with the new trends and technology offered in the HVAC industry. 

Cooper Oates Provides Value Throughout Your Project

With Cooper Oates, a retrofit solution for older buildings is rarely just “buy a whole new system.” We work to prolong what equipment you already have through expert repair and maintenance- our goal is to help you increase the return on your building investment. We find creative solutions and the best-fit in the latest technologies to help you reduce costs.

In one client’s equipment replacement and control upgrades project, we found that utility expenses went down by $20,000 a year and the building went from an EnergyStar Benchmark of 44 to 81, certifying it as an EnergyStar building.

 

Helping You Increase the Return on Your Building Investment

We’re dedicated to eliminating any waste of resources, time, or money. By carefully utilizing clients’ resources, we aim to find root causes and sustainable solutions. This has been a guiding principle of our company since 1972.

"I Have Had Nothing Other Than Exceptional Success and Joy Working With Cooper Oates Company"

I have had nothing other than exceptional success and joy working with Cooper Oates company.

First off, they take photos of whatever they are communicating to be a problem. I'm not up on the roof with them, so rather than having to rely on their word alone, they are building my trust and confidence by taking images of any existing problem AND images after their repairs. This is exceptional.

They are fast, efficient, courteous, pleasant and considerate. Personal connection and relationship-based business is becoming more and more rare. It is such a relief to find caring human beings who pick up the phone and don't route you through endless wasteful phone trees when you call them.

Thank you so much....all of you at Cooper Oates Air and Plumbing Services! I am very blessed to have found you!

"Their Team Answered Our Call on a Busy Holiday Weekend"

We highly recommend Cooper Oates Air Conditioning for their outstanding service, expertise, and professional team members. COAC is one of our top go-to subcontractors that we use on nearly every construction project! They are reliable, honest, and timely. Just earlier this year, their team answered our call on a busy holiday weekend. COAC showed up to the site within 2 hours and resolved the issue right away.

This is the kind of routine thing that they do at COAC: They take care of their customers and business partners. We can't thank them enough!

So on behalf of the DHHS tenants, a very big THANK YOU for the new control system.

I want to thank Cooper Oates for the recent work performed at the Elder Creek facility. (Technicians) Mike and Andrew did an outstanding job taking care of the issues we had. They made sure all work was done in a professional manner and did a great job communicating to me the process and did a great job cleaning up debris.

From the preliminary findings in the VP offices, there is much improvement in the noise level and balance of air distribution now. Again thank you for a job well done!

"Precise HVAC Redesign"

I would like to thank you all for the successful completion of the HVAC redesign in the Bureau of Nursing recently. Recognizing and rectifying this complex issue portrays your dedication to customer satisfaction. The tenant is very happy with the operation of the system and is reporting excellent comfort levels.

The project progressed smoothly and precisely as scheduled. I received no complaints or concerns during the project. It went so well in fact that I did not visit the project once until it was completed. I have complete confidence in (your Foreman) Anthony Vallejos and had no inclination that his jobsite was anything but perfectly tended. The only job issue was that the access card which I issued that never worked correctly. Anthony was very adaptable and got the job done anyway.

Please accept the sincere appreciation from Consumer Affairs and the Bureau of Nursing.

"Detailed Service"
